Access Control
Moving beyond the traditional approach to physical access control, an ICT Protege system is an all-in-one platform that brings together intruder detection, door access, and building automation for complete management of your site security.
What is access control?
How you protect your staff, customers, visitors, stock, and spaces within a building is the corner stone of a well-functioning access control system. Your access control solution should help your business minimize risk and create a safe environment by controlling who can enter a building or access specific areas within the premises. When done well, access control systems should enable effortless movement and enhance the overall efficiencies of day-to-day business.
